    Postpartum

    Directed by Henriette Rietz
    Germany | 5 minutes |

An honest and personal insight into the world of an overwhelmed new mother, who presumed that parental leave would become a sort of easy sabbatical. Pumped up with hormones and lacking sleep, the intense postpartum period reveals a chaotic and comic new phase in this woman's life.

In competition for Best Animated Short.
